The GRAFFITI card adds 256 colour (from a pallette of 262,144) CHUNKY modes to all models of the Amiga. With OCS/ECS chipset the maximum resolution is 384x576 pixels and with the AGA chipset it is 768x576 pixels. Because of the chunky nature of the Graffiti, it is easier to create and port texture-mapped games (like DOOM), play AVI/FLI/QuickTime animations and emulate other platforms, like Macintosh or PC.

The card is an external device that attaches to the RGB port of any Amiga, and has an RGB output to connect the monitor (any 15kHz capable monitor, like the 1084 or M1438).

Two examples of software using the Graffiti card are Nemac IV and Trapped. There are demos of both on Aminet. The card includes a 256 color IFF viewer for all models of Amiga, and very fast Graffiti drivers are now supplied with the Fusion Macintosh emulator and the PCx PC emulator. There is also an AVI/FLI player available.

• It works with all the models of Amiga
• 256 colours from a palette of 262,144
• Low resolution image with OCS/ECS, high resolution with AGA
• Overscan and interlace supported
• Works at 15kHz (PAL, NTSC and Euro36 modes)
• Simply plugs in the RGB port. No opening of the computer is required
• Chunky graphics for fast animation, texture-mapped games, etc...
• The programmers only use 4 bitplane modes, so 7Mb/s bandwidth is available with AGA chipset
• Faster graphics by reducing resolution. The card can generate 160 and 80 pixels/line modes by hardware, so neither CPU nor blitter must do the job of scaling the pixels
• Uses CHIP memory to store graphics, so no memory is inside the Graffiti and Amiga blitter can be used to process the chunky graphics

The Software

• IFF/GIF/JPEG viewers
• AVI Video player
• DOOM type games
• Fast Macintosh (Fusion) drivers and PC (PCx drivers)

The card is a small box, with an RGB input on one side and an RGB output on the other side, so it is connected between the computer and the monitor.
